Ask HN: How Hard Is Learning to Build Electron Apps?

Hi,

I'm a student and I'm thinking about contributing to some open source apps like Boostnote or Notable which use Electron (Javascript/Typescript).

How much time/effort does it require to learn the necessary skills/tools?

So far I'm comfortable with Python, C++ and Java and I'm mainly working on topics like machine learning and computer vision. So learning Electron will probably not be directly useful for my first job.

Would you say it's nonetheless a good use of my time or should I rather focus on my "more career relevant stack"?
